*T20 Final* Rabid Wolves v Masters XI (Commentary)

[superkingdave]

2 minutes left at work...

 

[Majin]

SHOULD be fairly easy but the fact that the commentary is getting smaller is making me nervous. It's our game to lose from here though.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And now Warney...
11.1 Warne to Morris, 0 runs, Some flight and turn and Morris planted his front pad and watched it turn outside offstump.
11.2 Warne to Morris, 0 runs, The topspinner and he shuffled across and left it through to the 'keeper.
11.3 Warne to Morris, 1 run, A confident drive to long-off.
11.4 Warne to Rai, WIDE, Warne slipped it down the legside and Rai let it go for a wide.
11.4 Warne to Rai, 2 runs, On the legs again and whipped away for an easy 2 runs.
11.5 Warne to Rai, 1 run, A third on the legs and Rai merely pushed it to the left of short fine leg to take a single.
11.6 Warne to Morris, WIDE, Floated outside offstump and it turned enormously. It's a wide, but Warne doesn't like the call.
11.6 Warne to Morris, 1 run, Driven to long-off for another run. Easy as you like right now.

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And we've lost the satellite feed.

 

[superkingdave]

haha ..

 

[Majin]

Must surely be our game now, barring a miracle for the Masters.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And we've missed Henderson getting clobbered and Warne hit for six by Rai. Thrilling stuff in a one-sided affair. Who says T20 produces tight contests?

 

[Majin]

Well deserved win for us in the end, really happy and proud with the game, and the whole tournament. Been a gun team from day one. Stoked to stand up in the final and get the MotM as well. Cheers for doing the "live sim" as well Liam.

Looking forward to the playoff now, should be a cracking match

What a disappointing final. Shows how much of a farce it was that the Masters got there in the first place.

You're one of the few people in this Cup qualified to say that.

Pah! I was looking forward to dismissing you cheaply in the play off, but it seems you've been dropped in order to preserve your modesty.

Sad that one of the giants of the game has fallen so far

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

**** I'm useless, but great to get the medal in any case.

You're a mug?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

You're a mug?

Cupping it here.

 

[pasag]

Well played Rabid Wolves.

 

[Goughy]

Sweet victory.

Im still amazed we did so well considereing we have never really played well as a unit in one game.

The 2 fast bowling stars, Gough and Nel, have been poor.

Really happy for the young guys like Morris and a guy like Raghav who was outside the original team yet made a big impact.

 

[Nate]

Crap final. Gheyyyy. H8 teh Masters.

Well played West Robham. Any other result would have been a farce.
